Also, the first terminal 105A includes a memory 215, for example, a random access memory (RAM) or other dynamic storage device, which is coupled to the bus 205 and stores commands to be executed by the information processor 210. The memory 215 may be used for storing temporary variables or other intermediate information while the information processor 210 is executing the commands. The first terminal 105A further includes a read only memory (ROM) 220 or other static storage device, which is coupled to the bus 205 and stores static information and commands for the information processor 210.

The first terminal 105A includes a storage 225; for example, a magnetic disk or an optical disk, which is coupled to the bus 205.

The first terminal 105A includes a display 230 that is connected to the bus 205, for example, a cathode ray tube (CRT) that may display search results related to information regarding the keywords. An user input 235, which functions as a user input device, includes alphanumeric keys and function keys, and transmits information and command selections to the information processor 210 via the bus 205. Another type of user input device is a cursor controller 240, for example, a mouse, a trackball, or cursor direction keys, that transmits direction information and command selections to the information processor 210, and controls cursor movement on the display 230.

The first terminal 105A may implement various information processes by using the information processor 210.

In some exemplary embodiments, the information processor 210 executes the commands that are stored in the memory 215. The commands may be read into the memory 215 from another computer-readable medium, such as the storage 225.

The term “computer-readable storage medium” refers to any medium that participates in providing data that causes a computer to perform a certain function. According to an exemplary embodiment that is implemented by using the first terminal 105A, various computer-readable media are involved, for example, in providing commands to the information processor 210 for execution. The computer-readable medium may be a storage medium, either volatile or non-volatile. A volatile medium includes, for example, a dynamic memory device, such as the memory 215. A non-volatile medium includes, for example, an optical or magnetic disk, such as the storage 225. All such media must be a type which enables the commands executed by the media to be detected by a physical mechanism that reads the commands into the computer.

Common forms of computer-readable media include, for example, floppy disks, hard disks, magnetic tapes, or any other magnetic media; CD-ROMs, any other optical media, punch cards, paper tapes, any other physical media with patterns of holes, RAMs, programmable read-only memories (PROMs), electrically programmable read-only memories (EPROMs), FLASH-EPROMs, or any other memory chips or cartridges.

Examples of the computer-readable media include, but are not limited to, carrier waves as described hereinafter, or any other media from which the first terminal 105A may read. For example, the commands may initially be executed on a magnetic disc of a remote computer. The remote computer may load the commands into a dynamic memory, and transmit the commands over a telephone line via a modem. The modem may receive the data on the telephone line, and use an infrared transmitter to convert the data to infrared signals. An infrared detector may receive data transmitted by the infrared signals. The bus 205 transmits the commands and the data to the memory 215. The information processor 210 receives and executes the commands from the bus 205. The commands may be selectively stored in the storage 225 either before or after execution by the information processor 210. All such media must be a type of enabling the commands executed by the media to be detected by a physical mechanism that reads the commands into the computer.

The first terminal 105A includes a communication interface 245 that is coupled to the bus 205. The communication interface 245 uses two-way data communication and thus connects the first and second terminals 105A and 105B, via the network 110. For example, the communication interface 245 may be a modem or an integrated services digital network (ISDN) card for providing data communication connection to a corresponding type of a telephone line. As another example, the communication interface 245 may be a LAN card for providing data communication connection to a compatible LAN. In such an implementation, the communication interface 245 transmits and receives electrical, electronic, or optical signals that transfer digital data stream representing various types of information.

The information processor 210 in the first terminal 105A parses text of the messages. According to an exemplary embodiment, the information processor 210 analyzes text of a short message service (SMS) message, and separates keywords from the text of the SMS message so as to extract relevant information from the SMS message. Also, the information processor 210 includes message database that stores the messages, the keywords, and at least one phone number related to the keywords. The information processor 210 maps the keywords and a phone number of sender or a relevant phone number in the SMS message, and updates mapping information in the message database.

The information processor 210 receives the keywords as the search input in the phonebook of the first terminal 105A. The information processor 210 searches the message database according to the keywords, and adds the at least one phone number related to the keywords from the message database to the list of search results. Then, the, information processor 210 displays the list of the search results.

In operation 630, the terminal receives from the user the keywords as the search input in the phonebook.

In operation 640, the terminal searches the message database 320 according to the keywords that are input by the user.

In operation 650, the terminal determines whether or not a database item that corresponds to the keywords is located from the message database 320.

In operation 660, in response to the terminal finding the database item that corresponds to the keywords, the terminal adds the at least one phone number related to the keywords to the list of search results. The at least one phone number is available only during a phonebook search, and are not added to the phonebook.

In operation 670, the terminal displays the at least one phone number related to the keywords in the list of search results. The user may use the at least one phone number that is displayed to call or send an SMS message, or may add the at least one phone number directly from the search results to the phonebook.

In operation 680, in response to the terminal not finding the database item that corresponds to the keywords, the method ends.

The user may use the at least one phone number that is displayed to call or may send a text message.

In some from the user embodiments, the message database 320 may be included in the first terminal 105A, the network 110, or a cloud. The message database 320 may hence be searched for the keywords. Also, the at least one phone number in the list of search results is also retrieved from the message database 320.

For example, suppose that the message database 320 stores a keyword “Courier” and a phone number related to the keyword, which are parsed from a message received from a company named “Courier.” The user enters “courier” as an input keyword on a search input box of the phonebook. The message database 320 is searched for the keyword “Courier.” The first terminal 105A displays a list of search results that includes phone numbers that are mapped to the keyword “Courier.”

In some from the user embodiments, from among phone numbers that are found, at least one frequently communicated phone number is provided to the user, along with communication details.
